It was really the first enjoyable baseball weather of the season, and the fans turned out in goodly numbers, over 5,000 being on hand.Cleveland had scored in the first Inning on a triple by Flick, who went scampering home on Bradley's fly to Hoffman. From that time until the fifth the Cleveland hitters failed to solve Orth's delivery, and it began to look discouraging for the locals.After Hinchman had singled and met an untimely death at second in the fifth Turner stole, because Williams could not find the ball. Joss landed a tantalizing single just back of second, tying the score. Flick followed with his second three-base hit, and Bradley, who looked dangerous, was passed by Orth. Stovall flied out, and Orth, with two men down, decided to take a chance and filled the [bases by sending Lajoie to first on balls. Clark was also given a free trip to first, thereby forcing In a run. Then Congalton singled, and Bradley scored the 111th and last run, an attempt to catch Clark at second failing. Hinchman filed out and ended the inning. Griffith sent Keefe to relieve Orth, but the damage was done. Joss, off whom New York had made but three hits, developed a kink in his pitching arm and was taken out, Otto Hess, the big left-header, succeeding him. lie only al-1 lowed a hit, no one reaching second durI mg the rest of the game. Keefe was also equal to the emergency, holding the Naps down to two hits, and no runs to the finish. Branch Rickey, the catcher secured from St. Louis, joined New York I here to-day, and it is thought terms may be made with Delehanty very soon.
